Categorise tax-relief spending the moment it happens. By March next year, your filing is a five-minute filter — not a shoebox archaeology project.
When you add a daily expense, type one of: Medical, Lifestyle, Books, SSPN, PRS in the Category field. After the first time, the dropdown auto-suggests them. (Add more for specific reliefs you claim.)
When you log an expense, pick the matching relief category. A doctor's bill → Medical. A laptop under RM 2,500 → Lifestyle. A unit-trust top-up to your child's SSPN → SSPN.
Open Reports, set the date range to the full tax year, pick a category from the dropdown. The total at the top is what you can claim. Type it straight into your e-Filing form.

Common annual reliefs a categorised Duitful makes effortless to claim
Self, lifestyle, books, medical, SSPN, PRS — see LHDN's current schedule for caps
LHDN updates relief categories and caps each year. Duitful doesn't file your tax — it gives you the running total per category so you arrive at e-Filing already knowing the numbers.
The shoebox method
The Duitful method
Doctor visits, hospital bills, dental, full medical check-up. Use Medical · self vs Medical · parents if you want to split — LHDN treats them as separate reliefs.
Books, magazines, sports gear, gym fees, internet bills, smartphone, tablet, laptop. One bucket — but categorise everything that fits, then sort in Reports at year-end.
Skim Simpan Pendidikan Nasional contributions and Private Retirement Scheme top-ups. Both have separate reliefs. Categorise the moment the deposit clears.
Voluntary KWSP top-ups, takaful and life-insurance premiums. Easy to forget if billed annually — categorising makes them findable in Reports.
Numbers change yearly, so no — Duitful gives you what you spent, not how much you can claim. Cross-reference with LHDN's current relief schedule when you file.
Each daily expense gets one category. If a purchase plausibly fits two reliefs (e.g., a laptop that's both Lifestyle and a work tool), pick the relief you'll actually claim and use the note field for the other context.
Use a category like Income · freelance for income entries. At year-end, total income and total deductible expenses are both one filter away in Reports. See the freelancer guide for the full setup.
No. Duitful never sees your data — it stays encrypted on your phone. You manually type the totals into LHDN's e-Filing site, same as before.
Five categories. One minute the first time you use each. Every relevant ringgit you spend this year goes into the right bucket — and your e-Filing total is one filter away in Reports.
